Abstract
A prospective, randomized clinical study investigated the effectiveness of IV gamma-globulin (GG) against bacterial infections after surgical procedures. As a result of 20 g GG IV, given postoperatively, the average concentration decrease for IgG (25% - 30%) could be balanced as soon as the third postoperative day, the local infection rate was decreased in the low-risk group, and, with the occurrence of long-lasting local infections, the number of patients with simultaneous septic complications was lowered.
